PTI and TTAP protest nationwide against the 27th Amendment and treatment of Imran Khan's sisters.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) held coordinated protests across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Karachi against the 27th Constitutional Amendment and the alleged mistreatment of PTI founder Imran Khan’s sisters near Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, according to Dawn. In Karachi, police detained around six people to prevent them from reaching the protest site.
Rallies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were organized under PTI provincial president Junaid Akbar after TTAP announced its march. District-level demonstrations featured PTI workers holding Imran Khan’s portraits and chanting slogans. In Peshawar, a protest at the Press Club was addressed by Local Government Minister Meena Khan Afridi, MNA Sher Ali Arbab, and PTI district president Irfan Saleem. Afridi said Imran Khan had offered TTAP two options: negotiations with authorities or peaceful nationwide protests, criticizing the 27th Amendment as “un-Islamic, unethical, and unconstitutional.”
Saleem emphasized PTI’s campaign for constitutional supremacy, rule of law, and human rights, while condemning security agencies for detaining PTM workers. Protests were also held in KP districts, including Swabi, Mohmand, and Battagram, with participants accusing the federal government of siding with the establishment and undermining the judiciary. Demonstrators demanded the withdrawal of the 27th Amendment, alleging it was aimed at blocking PTI from elections and consolidating government power. In Punjab, PTI Chief Organiser Aliya Hamza called on party members to join the protests wearing black bands and carrying placards. By evening, demonstrations were scattered but remained peaceful, according to Hamza, who posted updates on X.
